Swiss Arabian Incense 01 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Incense 01 opens with Bergamot, Frankincense, Juniper, and Rum, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley, Almond, Hazelnut, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Dark Chocolate, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Swiss Arabian's Incense 01 carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A truly polarising beast, Incense 01 is either an exquisite, complex journey into frankincense, fig, and woods or a screeching, unblended disaster that smells like old spice rub or urine. Love it or hate it, its beast-mode performance is undeniable.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for an office environment unless applied very lightly. The rich, warm, and sophisticated profile, with its complex woody and sweet accords, is perfectly suited for cooler weather, formal events, and intimate date nights. Be cautious with casual wear due to its intensity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Boldly opening with a boozy splash of juniper and rum, underpinned by bright frankincense and bergamot. The heart introduces a creamy, nutty richness of hazelnut and almond alongside a surprising fig and delicate lily of the valley. It settles into a luxurious base of dark chocolate, smooth sandalwood, and earthy oakmoss, with a comforting hint of vanilla and cedar, offering a multifaceted woody-sweet experience.
